Ah, let's see where the political world is up to,
Despite the best fantasies of the Australian, European and US press, GWB is looking forward to a second term. John Kerry, on the other hand, is still stuck in Cambodia, 1972, and CBS has been reduced to peddling forged documents to discredit the President.
In Australia, Latham still has a good chance to succeed as PM, but his general batshit craziness may throw a spanner in the works, especially as the campaign continues. He's well on the way to being the "magic pudding" man of Australian Politics.
The Greens are still unrepetentant idiot socialists.
The Democrats...well, who gives a fuck? Not like anyone will vote for them anyway.
Now, on to more important matters.
yeah latham probably won't do much for Australia... but John Howard seems be more concerned with please the US than doing anything directly positive for australia. Plus he's old, conservative and hasn't beaten up any taxi drivers as far as I can remember. Latham has the edge in this regard.
Posted by: allan at September 22, 2004 06:36 PMToo true, Latham does have the taxi-driver bashers vote.
Anyway, what's with the political apathy here Allan? I thought those in the yartz industry were supposed to be loyal and dedicated members of the international left?
Don't tell me you're getting soft...
Posted by: Aidan at September 22, 2004 07:11 PMI remember seeing a billboard for the up-coming attraction Alien vs. Predator titled "Whoever wins, we lose". Only that it was modified to say Howard vs. Latham.
I laughed till I stopped.
Posted by: Dan at September 22, 2004 07:23 PMWell, that's politics for you.
Seriously, the only real bad outcome would be if the Greens increased their vote and grabbed any real power.
Fuckin' watermelons.
